+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+Used to pull a remote copy of ansible on each managed node,
+each set to run via cron and update playbook source via a source repository.
+This inverts the default \fIpush\fP architecture of ansible into a \fIpull\fP
+architecture,
+which has near\-limitless scaling potential.
+.sp
+None of the CLI tools are designed to run concurrently with themselves,
+you should use an external scheduler and/or locking to ensure there are no
+clashing operations.
+.sp
+The setup playbook can be tuned to change the cron frequency, logging
+locations, and parameters to ansible\-pull.
+This is useful both for extreme scale\-out as well as periodic remediation.
+Usage of the \(aqfetch\(aq module to retrieve logs from ansible\-pull runs would be an
+excellent way to gather and analyze remote logs from ansible\-pull.
